Please Assess: Tire Damage

[dr. d]

masyadong mababaw.. the inner strengthening fibers ain't even seen.
it's a negligible little nick..
keep using the tire.

Thank you sirs. Dalhin ko na lang sa goodyear para matakpan. Nakaka asiwa kasi

you can take your tire to any vulcanizing shop. what they will do is to patch the nick with emulsified tire tube rubber and vulcanize (cook) the rubber compound to the injury until it is cured. they usually use the same rubber material melted with gasoline or paint thinner until the rubber has turned into a paste or jelly

I would'nt advise "cooking" those tyres. Uncontrolled heat will do more harm than good. This is why cold patching is the most preferred way in re-sealing punctured tyres.

Agree. Lulutong lang yung goma pagniluluto...

Leave it be.

I had a similar nick on the side of my tire. And like dr. d mentioned, the inner fibers of the tire didn't show up. So I let it be.
Nagamit ko siya hanggang napudpod yung treads niya without any incidents.

Can I ask for a cold patch for my tire damage?

I don't know if the repair shop can do that. Just like I said earlier, if you find the superficial damage a bit annoying to look at, then "reverse" the tyre (inside-out).
